This Royal Canin formula is designed exclusively for purebreed English Bulldogs over 12 months old. The English Bulldog has a very sensitive digestive system and is prone to flatulence. Their heavy, compact frame can also put extra stress on their joints. The English Bulldog’s brachycephalic (flat) facial structure can make it more difficult for him to eat easily. That's why it's important to choose a diet tailor-made for the Bulldog's specific needs.

This is only a guide. Optimal feeding amounts may vary according to your dog's temperament, activity level and environment. If you have any questions regarding your pet's health, please contact your veterinarian.

Transition Instructions

We recommend at least a 7 day transition before you begin feeding the new food exclusively. Start by mixing 75% of the old diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the old diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the old diet with 75% of the new diet. On the 7th day, you can feed the new food exclusively. This allows your pet’s digestive system to smoothly adapt to the new food.

Tailor-Made Nutrition

Designed for the Specific Needs of the Bulldog

Why Pure Breed Dogs Need Tailored Nutrition

From their personalities to their distinctive physiologies, pure breed dogs have unique characteristics that make them sought-after and beloved companions. When choosing a formula, it's important to keep in mind the unique characteristics of your breed including:

Face and Jaw: All dogs fall into two basic jaw types: Brachycephalic or mesocephalic. Breeds with short, broad muzzles (like Bulldogs) are examples of a brachycephalic jaw. Breeds with a longer muzzle (like Labrador Retrievers) are examples of mesocephalic breeds. The jaw type, and even biting patterns can affect how a breed picks up kibble.

Skin Types: The skin's most important function is to serve as a barrier of protection-but not all breeds have the same skin type. From wrinkled and folded (which traps heat and moisture) to sensitive or water resistant, precise levels of key nutrients help to support a breed's unique skin health needs.

Distinctive Coats: There's more to a coat than meets the eye. From the color and texture to undercoats, each pure breed dog has a unique coat with unique needs.

Breed Specific Formulas

Every dog is unique. From the small, flat-faced Pug to the obesity-prone Labrador Retriever, Royal Canin Breed Health Nutrition is tailor-made to address the unique needs of pure breed dogs. These breed specific formulas benefit from the latest Royal Canin research on the selection of the best protein sources, unique nutrients and tailor-made kibbles.

Formulated for English Bulldogs

Royal Canin's Bulldog Adult Dry Dog Food is designed exclusively for pure breed English Bulldogs over 12 months.

Healthy skin: Appropriate food plays an important part in maintaining the quality of the skin and coat. Bulldog Adult Dry Dog Food support the skin's role as a barrier with an exclusive complex of nutrients, and maintains skin and coat health with EPA and DHA.

Bone & joint health: Bulldogs have a heavy structure which can put stress on their joints. This formula helps support healthy bones and joints and maintain an ideal weight.

Exclusive Kibble

English Bulldogs have a very short, broad muzzle that turns upward and thick, deep "chops" that completely overhang the lower jaw. The wave-shaped kibble design for this formula makes it easier for Bulldogs to pick up.

Why Royal Canin?

Over time, Royal Canin has accumulated vast knowledge about cats and dogs that only extensive research, scientific study and tireless talks with pet professionals, veterinarians and owners can provide. That knowledge led them to develop precise nutrition for cats and dogs. Each Royal Canin formula is tailored to pets' size, age, lifestyle and breed and contains more than 50 perfectly balanced nutrients for the most effective diet possible.

Their focus on science puts pets at the heart of the formulation process, choosing only ingredients that optimize the food's nutritional content. Royal Canin also continues to invest heavily in new technology to ensure their quality and food safety systems remain state-of-the-art, so pets can continue to benefit from the latest in food health and nutrition.

Reduce Gas!!

I love this dog food because it reduces my dog’s gas (smell). If you’re a bulldog owner you know what I’m taking about. My dog is a Olde English Bulldogge so this does work for others types of bulldog. Also, we mixed this food with Wellness Core and it’s the perfect mix for her sensitive tummy.

I just changed my english bulldogs food from puppy to adult and though I would try this food since it is especially made for bulldogs. Well he loves it (but then again he loves anything you give him). Much larger kibbles which he likes too.

Grain Free

Feeding a bulldog is hard. Foods have to be grain free and delicious as well. Royal Canin figured it out! My bully loves this food and it is a super hit with her. She eats less, has less upset tummy and a shiny coat!

Will order again and again!

Our Old English bulldog was having issues with allergies and heat spots. After just one week of transitioning him to Royal Canin (still mixing 50/50 with Science Diet), his coat and sores are noticably better and he no longers gnaws his feet incessantly. Win!

The Best Bulldog Food

By BarleysBigBoyBoofy
on May 17, 2018

Barley, the 5th bulldog that I have have owned, is about the celebrate his 11th birthday. He is the 1st of my bullies that have eaten this food. It calmed the gas (never going to total rid yourself of bully gas) and forces him to eat more slowly without gagging. I would recommend this food to any bulldog owners. He loves it and expects it doing the bully dance before meals. He gets especially excited when the Chewy box comes and I cut the new bag open.

Our Frenchies Love This Food!

By FrenchieMom
on Mar 22, 2018

We buy this instead of the French Bulldog bag due to the larger bags, as the Frenchie version bag only comes in 15lbs. The ingredients are almost identical, so we get more food for our money. The kibbles are a nice large size that makes it easy for their tongue to grab it since they have flat faces(kibble size is slightly larger than the frenchie kibble). I noticed they starting eating their food slower and are actually chewing! This is great, as they do not puke/spit up anymore after eating, and their gas has pretty much stopped... no more smelly snuggles at night! We do mix a spoonful of Natural Balance Wet Food or Blue Wilderness Wet Food in it, just to keep it interesting, as we keepWe buy this instead of the French Bulldog bag due to the larger bags, as the Frenchie version bag only comes in 15lbs.

This is the only food that Wally and Winston have continuously eaten without getting bored, and they are super healthy! Skin and coats look great, they have a balanced energy level, and their digestive system is consistent. Wally & Winston send their "Thanks". :)… more
